How To Install Tp_smapi And Acpi_call Kernel Modules
Hello,
I’ve got a Thinkpad T420 and would like to use full tlp functionality. Therefore I need the kernel module tp_smapi and acpi_call.
Have a look right here:
http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-linux-advanced-power-management.html#installation There are only fedora related packages but none for RHEL/CentOS.
Should I install that repo and hardcode the mirror to the fc21 repo?
Regards Tim

… Fedora 20 and 21
TLP packages are available from the official Fedora repositories:
tlp (Updates) – Power saving
tlp-rdw (Updates) – optional, Radio Device Wizard
Install the above packages with the command (in a root shell):
yum install tlp tlp-rdw
Note: packages for RHEL/CentOS are available from EPEL6/7 repositories.

Thanks for your answer.
tlp and tlp-rdw are already installed from epel. But these packages miss that kernel modules. So when I want these I have to add the repo and replace $release in the mirror url with 21 of fedora, right?

No, the kernel modules must be compiled for the CentOS kernel. Installing from a Fedora repository will not work.
I would suggest you talk to the folks at EPEL on their mailing list.
